Science Playground

In 2009, the FMS community (parents, students and staff) all pitched in to build our one-of-a-kind, truly amazing science playground/Exploratorium. Designed by FMS students, it includes a rock-climbing wall on a planisphere map, pendulum, weight levers, hand-carved chess set, friction slides, steppers through the solar system, a centrifugal force spinner and much more.
